Child who received stem cells from aborted fetus on way home

It breaks my heart when medical research is blocked in the name of morality, and stem cells that could help people are wasted. I hope this child's story helps convince people about the benefit to use stem cells to help patients .

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush used his veto power Wednesday for the first time since taking office 5 1/2 years ago, saying that an embryonic stem-cell research bill "crossed a moral boundary."

The bill, which the Senate passed Tuesday, 63-37, would have loosened the restrictions on federal funding for stem-cell research.

House Republican leaders tried Wednesday evening to override the veto, but that vote was 235 to 193, short of the necessary two-thirds majority.

"This bill would support the taking of innocent human life in the hope of finding medical benefits for others," Bush said Wednesday afternoon. "It crosses a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect. So I vetoed it."

It is not illegal to use embryonic stem cells. They can be experimented with. Bush did not make it illegal. Medical researchers can experiment all they want.

Right. Just science doesn't trust embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells are much better. You can clone/ use embryos all you want. Just the gov't won't pay for it.
